USC and UCLA Continue Rivalry Over a Game of Poker
Usually when the USC and UCLA talk about meeting in some sort of competitive endeavor, usually it involves 22 heavily armored students chasing a ball from one end of a 100 yard field to the other and doing the sorts of things to each other that would qualify as textbook assault if done off the field. In this particular case we are not talking about a football game, but rather the two schools continuing their rivalry over a poker table.
The Global Poker Strategic Thinking Society (GPSTS) will continue its schedule of inter-school matches this weekend with a team poker competition between USC and UCLA. This is part of a larger initiative that leads up to a national inter-school poker tournament in March of 2008.
USC and UCLA will shuffle and play for the pride of their respective schools on Friday, November 30th at 1:00pm…

Poker lexicon:
- SUITED - Two or more cards all the same suit. Ant: OFF-SUIT.
- BELLY BUSTER - An inside straight draw. Same as GUTSHOT.
- BLUFF - To make a bet or raise with a poor hand, in hope that the remaining active player(s) will fold.
- READ - To determine whether an opponent has a good, medium or bad hand by observing his personal behavior. An inexact science.
- BUNNY - An eight. So named because one can easily draw "rabbit ears" above the numeral 8, "paws" in the middle and "feet" at the bottom. (Do this only at home, and not on cards that will be used for play.)
- EVEN-MONEY - A bet that pays off exactly the amount wagered. E.g., "Double or nothing" is an even-money bet.
